The main feature of a super fine basket is to slow the extraction and reduce the fines - like inserting a paper filter basket into a filter basket - but without the hassle. Very handy especially if the grinder is old.
This E&B LAB filter basket range, is available in 3 heights, from 14 - 22 grams. The main feature is the extra mesh filter attached to the base - designed to filter out any fines from very finely ground coffee and to slow down the extraction time. This results in less or no channelling.
The SF at the end of the code means a Super-Fine filter.
The filter has no ridge and comes with a flat bottom and a cylindrical profile with a perforated area of 40 mm and 565 holes.
To achieve this ultra-fine filtration - IMS has added a 170-μm membrane to the basket, which makes the 565 holes even finer. Most EMS baskets would be between 250 and 350-μm, so this basket will filter out any fines and add to greater cream distribution.
E&B LAB has 565 holes - and conical and circular holes with electro-polished finish ensure the best possible and consistent coffee extraction and the least amount of sediment.
💡Soak the baskets every 2-3 weeks in Puly Urnex or Cafetto to remove coffee debris buildup.

I have been using this basket for 2 months now and it is the only one I use now. As I am a new "home barista" I have purchased several different brands of baskets trying to improve my shots. For me, this basket made all the difference! I no longer have any channeling and my shots are so consistent! I couldn't be happier with this basket
Hi,
The sizes listed for this basket don’t seem to match the E&B website - for example, the H24 should be 14-16g?
I’m looking for the 16-18g H26, which is out of stock but I see the item is listed as clearance? Does this mean they will not be restocked?
Thanks
Tom

Hi Tom, the coffee qty is approx and depends on a few variables. Yes, this is discontinued from us - we can still get the H26, but it would be the full price. Very good value while stock lasts.
